Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large onions thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sugar

- 2 cup beef broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Notes
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine while cooking the onions. If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in a tablespoon of butter before adding the cheese. Adjust seasoning to taste, and remember that the Gruyere cheese will add additional saltiness to the dish.
